Chapter 65 Covering up
Qin Lang looked at the little girl in front of him, smiled and said to Zheng Shisanniang who kept bowing her head,
"This little girl should be Li Wanshun, the younger sister of His Highness Julu King Li Chengyi, Princess Wenxi, and Lin Wan is definitely not the girl's real name."
"I don't know what you are talking about." Zheng Shisanniang's face turned pale, but she still tried her best to maintain her composure.
"Girl, I'm Zhenfusi Cheng now. Miss, have you heard of Zhenfusi's new yamen? It was set up by His Royal Highness the new crown prince to clear up the remnants of the abolished prince. The first task of Zhenfusi is to investigate Capture Li Chengyi and look for Li Wanshun, do you think I don't have their portraits in my hand?" Qin Lang took out the portrait of Julu King from his arms.
When Zheng Shisanniang saw that portrait, she collapsed.
"What do you want?"
"I am Cheng Fu Si Cheng, and the duty of Zhen Fu Si is to hunt down the remnants of the abolished prince, what do you think will happen?" Qin Lang said flatly, "Naturally, I will bring it back to the Zhen Fu Si Yamen, and wait for His Highness the Crown Prince. "
"No!"
Zheng Shisanniang screamed.
"I promised my aunt that I will protect Chengyi and Wanshun."
"aunt?"
Qin Lang raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you talking about abolishing the Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin? Then you are also from the Zheng family?"
Zheng Shisanniang said in despair, "That's right, I am the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Zheng Shisanniang who you rejected twice!" After finishing speaking, Zheng Shisanniang suddenly pulled out a dagger and rushed straight at her. To Qin Lang.
Jingle.
Zheng Shisanniang's dagger was blocked by Qin Lang picking up the copper plate on the table. Immediately after Qin Lang made a catch, he locked Zheng's wrist, and then snatched the white blade with his bare hands.
Qin Lang strangled Zheng Shisanniang's neck with one hand, and grabbed the dagger he had snatched with the other.
"When a girl kills someone with a knife, isn't she afraid of splashing blood all over you?"
Zheng Shisanniang missed and was charged, and closed her eyes in despair.
"Tell me, what's your name?"
Qin Lang felt that this woman was very strong. The first time they met in Pingzhang Pavilion, the woman disguised herself as a man to save Yu Xiao and then bit him again. When they met again, it was like this, and they drew their swords at each other if they disagreed.
Of course, she didn't expect that she was actually the first daughter of the Zheng family who was once rejected by him.
"Zheng Wanyan!"
"This name is good, as expected of everyone's lady, but although you and I have misunderstood, it doesn't have to be like this?"
Zheng Shisanniang opened her eyes and saw Qin Lang's face very close to him, she tried her best to avoid it, "Let them go, they are just two children, they are innocent, as long as you let them go, I will do anything promise you."
"Zheng Shisanniang, you also know that after the palace change, the prince will never let go of the son of the abolished prince. Princess Wenxi may still stay, but it is impossible for several county kings." I agree with this kind of cutting grass and roots, but I can understand the thoughts of Li Shimin and his confidants.
The reality is so cruel.
In other words, if it is completed, it is the winner, and they will not let Hengshan County Wang Chengqian and the others go afterwards.
"Let Sister Wanyan go."
Wenxi Princess Li Wanshun rushed forward to tear Qin Lang's arm, but Li Chengyi stood there blankly with a pale face.
The little girl tore and bit, Qin Lang had no choice but to let go of Zheng Shisanniang, and carried the princess away.
Yu Xiao came back and was shocked when she saw the scene in the hall.
"Saburo?"
Qin Lang said helplessly, "Do you know what this girl Lin Wan's real name is, and who are these two children?"
"Sister Wan'er saved me, Sanlang." Yu Xiao said.
"Your sister Wan'er's real name is Zheng Wanyan, a daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and she is the thirteenth in the family. And these two children are the children of the abolished prince. Deer County King Li Chengyi, they are all important criminals ordered by the crown prince to hunt down and capture."
After hearing this, Yuxiao couldn't help being stunned.
"Zheng Shisan Niang? Isn't that the one San Lang once refused to marry?"
"It is indeed her."
The hall was silent for a while.
"What is Sanlang going to do?" Yu Xiao asked.
"What else can I do, of course I will leave it to the crown prince."
"But, but..." Yu Xiao couldn't bear it.
Zheng Shisanniang suddenly knelt down to Qin Lang.
"As long as you let us go, no, as long as you let their siblings go, I am willing to agree to your mission request."
Qin Lang raised his eyebrows.
"anything?"
Zheng Shisanniang bit her lip, "Anything!"
"No, I promised my aunt that they would survive."
Qin Lang sighed.
In fact, judging from today's scene, Li Chengyi's sister and brother are indeed very innocent and pitiful, but in fact, when Qin Lang joined Jingluan that day, he took the risk with his whole family. If he failed that day, Qin Lang's head would be lost. In addition, more than a hundred people in the Qin family could not escape death, and his younger brothers and sisters who were one or two years old also suffered the same fate.
Zheng Shisanniang knelt down and begged Qin Lang regardless of her status as a woman with five surnames.
"Hey, I'm actually very soft-hearted. I rejected your marriage twice before, which hurt your reputation. I can give you some compensation, not to mention that you saved Yuxiao, and I owe you a favor too." "Qin Lang thought for a while, "How about this, you give Chengyi to me, and I will take him back to Zhenfusi Yamen, and I will ask the crown prince to intervene for him. As for the result, I can only obey the destiny Yes. But in this way, Princess Wenxi and you can stay out of the matter and not be implicated, how about it?"
"Is there no other way? Please!"
Qin Lang shook his head.
"No!"
Zheng Shisanniang refused to agree, both Chengyi and Wanshun were her relatives, how could she give up one.
Qin Lang called Ah Huang, Qin Yong, Qin Yong, Ma Zhou and others.
"Sanlang, why involve yourself in it?" Silver-faced Wei Tuo reminded him.
"Forget it, let's leave it as it is. Take good care of Zheng Shisanniang and the Princess for me, and don't let them leave the mansion. I'll take Chengyi back to answer my orders first."

Eastern Palace.
Chongjiao Hall.
Qin Lang came in with an eunuch, Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial, and he didn't raise his head to greet him, so Qin Lang could only kneel on the ground.
Kneeling and sitting for about half an hour, Li Shimin finally stood up.
"The censor impeached you, saying that you, Qin Lang, took credit for your pride and indulged in lawlessness. You actually got drunk during the day and galloped through the sky. Are you guilty?"
Qin Lang felt that Li Shimin's tone today was not right. It was condescending, condescending, and even a little cold. Every time he met Li Shimin in the past, Li Shimin was extremely polite to him, and even felt a little deliberate.
But Qin Lang quickly turned the corner, and Li Shimin is not what he used to be.
When they first met, Li Shimin was in the most dangerous time. He needed help and loyalty. Of course, he showed his kindness to the son of a confidant general like Qin Lang. .
But now, it's just a pure relationship between monarch and minister.
Even if there is still a superficial relationship between Weng and son-in-law.
As far as the matter is concerned, there is no reason for a monarch to be like his ministers all the time.
"The minister is guilty."
Qin Lang nodded his head, "I have something urgent to report. I have captured Julu King Li Chengyi, and he is now in the Fusi Yamen of Pingkangfang Town."
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes widened involuntarily.
"Have you found Cheng Yi?"
"It's absolutely true, fortunately it's not a disgrace."
Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and turned around a few times, "Since it has been confirmed, then give him a glass of poisoned wine and send him on his way."
"Your Highness, I have seen that child, who is less than three years old."
"That is also the son of Jiancheng." Li Shimin's voice was a little stiff.
Qin Lang understood that Li Shimin would not let that poor child go.
"Did Princess Wenxi find it?"
Qin Lang hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head, "Not yet."
"Continue to hunt."
"Your Highness, I think that since Chengyi has already been captured, there is no need to go after the Princess with great fanfare. After all, Princess Wenxi is only a three-year-old girl, and she is not the son of the abolished prince. Even if she lives among the people, she will not What impact will it have on the court?"
"On the contrary, if His Highness stops the pursuit, the impact of the Jingchao will pass sooner, and the former abolished princelings all over the world will feel at ease."
······
Qin Lang's persuasive persuasion finally had some effect.
Perhaps it was because Qin Lang captured Julu King so quickly, which made Li Shimin appreciate his ability to handle affairs.
"If you think you have meritorious service, then the merits and demerits of the drunken running around the street before will be equalized, let the past be forgotten, and don't mess around again in the future." Li Shimin poured Qin Lang a glass of iced sour plum soup. You will be rewarded with a hundred strings of money, ten altars of imperial wine, and a hundred stones of rice, and you will be responsible for sharing the rewards."
Li Shimin patted Qin Lang on the shoulder, "Sanlang, you are very capable in handling things, but sometimes you have to pay attention to the rules. I will give you a new errand here. The defeated soldiers of the palace fled to Mount Zhongnan to hide, and they still refuse to go down the mountain to accept surrender. I hope you will go to Mount Zhongnan, find them, and announce the decree of the orphan's pardon, so that they will go down the mountain as soon as possible, and don't go down by mistake."
Although Li Shimin issued the pardon order earlier, Xie Shufang and others attacked Xuanwu Gate, besieged Hongyi Palace, killed Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, and even almost captured the Qin Palace, killing many people, but fled to Zhongnan Mountain afterwards. I can't easily believe the imperial court's offer of security.
This group of people hid in the mountains, and there are more than a thousand people, which is not a small hidden danger.
Li Shimin also didn't want to send a large army into the mountains to encircle and suppress them with great fanfare. Firstly, the influence would not be good, and secondly, Xie Xue and others were all short-lived generals, so he still wanted to recruit these people.
At present, there are still many powerful factions in the local area, such as Li Yi and Li Yuan, who have not fully expressed their allegiance. Li Shimin hopes that the capital can maintain a stable situation. good idea.
